Short takes on the passing scene

*************

– Did you hear that Colin Kaepernick  returned to his “ancestral roots” in Ghana? Yep. Good old Colin “wanted to visit the sites for myself for being forced into the hells of the middle passage” (see Colin’s cerebral tweet below). He also saw it as a great opportunity to question America’s observation of Independence Day. Who’da seen that coming?

Actually we think “The Colon” (as we like to affectionately refer to him) went to Ghana to try to get a starting QB gig in the GFL (the lucrative Ghana Football league). 

Here’s ‘The Colon’s’ tweet:

“What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence?” – Frederick Douglass. In a quest to find my personal independence, I had to find out where my ancestors came from. I set out tracing my African ancestral roots, and it lead me to Ghana. Upon finding out this information, I wanted to visit the sites responsible for myself (and many other Black folks in the African Diaspora) for being forced into the hells of the middle passage (emphasis ours). I wanted to see a fraction of what they saw before reaching the point of no return. I spent time with the/my Ghanaian people, from visiting the local hospital in Keta and the village of Atito, to eating banku in the homes of local friends, and paying my respects to Kwame Nkrumah’s Memorial Park. I felt their love, and truly I hope that they felt mine in return.

Reading this prompted us to think that the Democratic Party has found the successor to Nancy Pelosi. She couldn’t have said it better.

Ghana is surely proud; 

Perhaps if it doesn’t work out with the (Ghana  Football League), The Colon might open a chain of “banku” restaurants…yummy!

– Finally, readers have no doubt heard that the Democratic Party is working on a slogan for the 2018 campaign. 

One of their prospective rallying cries is “we resisted, she persisted”. (sounds like a call for a halt to unwanted sexual advances; hmm, maybe something to that in the case of that crowd).

Their other very highly acclaimed entrant in the Dem bumper sticker contest really looks like a winner:

“I mean, have you seen the other guys?”

Yes. That’s it! The circus is gone but the freak show goes on over at the Democratic Party.

Have you seen those “guys”?

Ringling Brothers is history but the Dems still have the “Ding-a-ling Sisters”, Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee! (Latest from these towering intellects is Maxine’s threat to “take HUD Secretary, Ben Carson’s ass apart”, ’cause he don’t know nuthin’ about public housing!

(Note to Ms. Waters: Sec. Carson was raised in public housing.)

And then there’s Sheila J. Lee. She is part of the ‘movement’ to invoke the 25th Amendment to get President Trump removed from office as mentally incompetent.

Best response to that is, Sheila, I mean, have you seen you guys?! 

************

In closing, may we suggest one other possible Democrat slogan for 2018 and beyond?

 DABU (Democrats, Anybody But Us)

************

Wait, still more

A timely slogan for the Democrats, given it coincides with the end of the “Greatest Show on Earth”, the party might borrow from an observation widely attributed P.T.Barnum (“a sucker is born every minute”…to paraphrase:

“A LIBERAL DEMOCRAT VOTER IS BORN EVERY MINUTE”(or at least enters the country illegally)  which leads to:

“…make a donation and enter the Big Dem Tent to see the 6 foot man eating chicken…”

Given the market for their product it is not hard to bamboozle them.

The come-on gets a lot of people initially into the tent, then you find out it isn’t a six foot man-eating chicken, it is a six foot man, eating chicken.
